I do not currently teach in public schools because I am against standardized testing and heterogeneous grouping in classrooms (a child at a 2nd grade reading level and one at a 10th grade reading level in the same English class in 8th grade? What could possibly go wrong...). There have been many arguments between me and my professors, as well as other educators.

different intelligences of inclusion.

As far as the State Teacher Assessment goes, the Republican controlled Legislature wants to give teachers a bonus for teaching students that are gifted, on a10th grade reading level for LA-Language Arts, in 8th grade, and a bad assessment for the results of a 2nd grade reading level in 8th grade LA, on End of Course Exams. The TX Commissioner of Education has put this kind of assessment off for another year.
